Our Away form hasn't just been poor but dire. However we have had 3 good Away performances this season with Tynecastle being one of them where we should at least have had a draw. So for the first time in years I believe we can get something from today's game. Whether we do is a different matter. We won't get Third but 5th is a real possibility if we manage to get over the line into top 6 and have 3 Home games after that. As for 3rd I reckon Hearts have the stronger squad but have no momentum. Today is massive for them to establish confidence and credibility.

We should enjoy Small while he is here. I think there is no chance he'll be here next season especially if Southampton get relegated which looks likely. He is a £5m player and they won't waste him on another loan when they can sell him for millions or put him straight into their team.

I would think because he is nowhere near match fit.

Signed. Hope every Club can accommodate a sensory room. Good luck.

Like many others I support fan ownership. And again like many others I am becoming increasingly concerned about what is happening with SMiSA. The number of Board and Chaiman changes has become unacceptable. We are being told about the changes but not the reasons behind it. If someone has the courage to take on a role then they should have the courage to say why they are stepping down. I get that people do not want to name individuals but a reason should be given why they no longer want to continue. The January statement to be more open and transparent has not materialised. If I don't get more information soon on what is really happening then I'll be transferring my monthly donation to the Charity Foundation. Tell the members what is going on.

Teams that get into the Europa Conference League get £3.3 million. That's worth aiming for.

Home games have been great, Away games mostly awful besides at Hearts and Celtic in the Cup. At Home we are in opposition faces from kickoff. Away we sit back at kickoff and let the opposition dictate the first half, although a half time rocket often improves things. Why do we sit back at kickoff in Away games? SR says that is not the tactic so why do players do it? And we need a goalscorer.

Main has been excellent this season in many ways but for me he still doesn't score enough - 6 League goals. Van Veen at Motherwell has scored 13 League goals and is also a handful up top. If we were pushing a boat out then I would go for him. I believe he still has another year on his contract and unfortunately Well no longer look like relegation material so probably only wishful thinking. But we need a goal scorer.

What goes against Strain is Australia don't play wingbacks but play a back four. But Strain is also an excellent defender and would give them another option. Pity as the guy deserves his chance.

Don't suppose there is anything in the news about Celtic fans trashing the North Stand or the singing of sectarian songs?

Section A now open for Away support. This seems to happen a lot to us. Away club allocates a small area and we have to ask for it to be increased. You would think Clubs have a good idea of a typical Away support for each team in the League.

Saturday was a bit of a surprise considering the shocking performance at Motherwell a few days before; half the squad injured and a bench of untried teenagers. However we blew RC away and should have won that by considerably more goals. Injury list is still horrendous and getting worse with Dec and Tanser taken off on Sat but one or two others may come back into contention. on the bench if not starting. Hard game but surely we have to start winning Away sometime?

Naw, they prefer the Premiership.

Naw, had a bag of popcorn in the cupboard and thought I'd find a Comedy to watch.

Gallagher has been out injured last couple of weeks. Had to be on the bench as Joe Shaughnesy is also injured. But a half fit Declan still strolled it. And a wee reflection for Dons fans. We were down to 10 men after 8 mins only a few weeks ago Away to Killie. We never gave them a look-in and should have won it but got a draw. Whereas Aberdeen conceded 3 and it could easily have been 5. Yea your performance was an improvement than Darvel but still pretty rank defending.

In Aug Aberdeen beat St Mirren 4-1 when Gallagher was sent off after 20 mins. The sending off was hardly mentioned on Sportscene as all they did was heap praise on Aberdeen's new signings and how brilliant they were. Fast forward 5 months and same venue but this time an Aberdeen player (not a central defender) is sent off early in the game. But Sportscene focuses on the sending off and hardly mentions that St Mirren ripped them apart. Could easily have been a 1-5 scoreline. A wee bit of praise for St Mirren would have been nice (and justified). But then you'd have to kick Michael Stewart off the show,

The tears and snotters on this are delicious.

You're welcome.

No failures tonight and some excellent performances. Special mention to Baccus playing an unfamiliar role and bossing it. The few days off has certainly helped him get back to his best.

Clubs can now broadcast up to 5 Home games on PPV per season. Been like that since Sept.

St Mirren have recalled three loans. Back are Lewis Jamieson from Airdrie; Kieren Offord from Alloa and Aiden Gilmartin from Cowdenbeath. Very happy with the transfer window where the squad is now stronger and we have received a load of dosh with sell-on clauses. Not sure why Reid to Palace hasn't been announced as everything seemed to have been agreed yesterday morning.

For me we finished this window stronger than what we started and have loads of dosh as well. A welcome change.

Naw, Lafferty has never played for 'Well. You guys would be better coming to Paisley on a Saturday to watch your old team.

Got to say I am impressed with Small. Youngest every player to play in an Everton first team at 16. Left to join Southampton to increase his chances of first team football with Everton rejecting a £1.5m compensation fee. Made a start with Southampton in a Cup game last season. Plays for England U18s. The boy looks top drawer. Looking forward to seeing him play. Edit to Add: Apparently Southampton had to pay £5m for Small! (from Football Insider).

Utd fan stating we have paid a £75k loan fee for Watt and are paying all his wages which seem to be about the same as we are paying Brophy. Surely not?
